Therapeutic Pilates + Myofascial Release

Movement. Alignment. Healing.

Restore balance, reduce pain, and reconnect with your body through integrative care.

Experience a truly personalized approach to healing and movement. Guided by Dr. Jessica Padilla, PT, DPT, a licensed physical therapist and Certified Comprehensive Pilates Instructor, this innovative session blends targeted Myofascial Release (MFR) with therapeutic Pilates for a transformative, holistic experience.


Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to improve posture and alignment, these sessions combine hands-on manual therapy with mindful movement to address the root causes of pain and dysfunction—empowering you to move with greater ease, resilience, and confidence.


Why This Integrative Approach Works


✔️ Myofascial Release (MFR) gently frees restrictions and tension within the fascia, promoting both physical and emotional healing.
✔️ Classical Pilates exercises on the Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, and Chair build strength, enhance alignment, and support long-term stability.
✔️ The MELT Method and hands-off techniques help maintain fascial releases between sessions, empowering your self-care.
✔️ Breathwork and movement education cultivate greater awareness, balance, and mobility.

Every 60-minute session is customized to meet your unique needs, whether you're focused on pain relief, injury recovery, or improving movement patterns.


What to Expect


Each one-on-one session may include:
✅ Gentle, hands-on Myofascial Release to improve fascial mobility

Pilates and Trunk Integration

Unlock Core Strength and Confidence

Pilates is the perfect complement to Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy, strengthening the core and trunk to help you sustain the positive effects of your sessions. With a stronger core, you’ll move with greater ease and confidence, while Pilates movements promote proper alignment and enhance the function of your body from the inside out.

Why Pilates for Trunk Integration?

Pilates goes beyond traditional core exercises by focusing on six key principles that transform the way your body moves:

  1. Core Activation
    Engage deep core muscles (transverse abdominis, pelvic floor, diaphragm, and multifidus) to create a solid foundation for movement.
  2. Breath Control
    Connect your diaphragm with your core through controlled breathing, enhancing stability and movement efficiency.
  3. Alignment and Posture
    Achieve proper spinal alignment to reduce imbalances and improve harmony between your trunk and the rest of your body.
  4. Dynamic Stability
    Strengthen your trunk by maintaining stability during dynamic, full-body movements that mimic real-life activities.
  5. Flexibility and Mobility
    Improve adaptability with controlled stretching and mobility exercises that keep your trunk flexible yet stable.
  6. Mind-Body Connection
    Develop greater body awareness through precise, intentional movements, allowing for better coordination and balance in daily life. pilates for strength pilates for rehab
